Today, life feels heavy. There’s so much happening around me and inside of me all at once. My heart is full of emotions I can’t always put into words: sadness, frustration, hope, and even a little fear. Through all my tears and whispered prayers, I’ve come to realize something, I’m in a season of transition. Things in my life are shifting, and sometimes, that kind of change can feel overwhelming.
It’s natural to crave comfort. We get used to certain routines, certain people, and even certain struggles. Comfort can feel safe, even when it’s not what’s best for us. But here’s the thing I’ve learned, growth never happens in comfort zones. And maybe, just maybe, what feels like chaos right now is actually God pulling me out of what’s familiar because He has something far greater planned.
The truth is, my feelings don’t always match reality. I may feel like everything is falling apart, but that doesn’t mean it actually is. Feelings can lie. They can convince us that we’re abandoned, forgotten, or failing. When in reality, God is still in control, working behind the scenes in ways we can’t see yet.
I’ve been sitting with that truth today. And while my emotions are still real and raw, I’m learning to lean on God’s promises rather than what I see or feel in the moment. It’s uncomfortable. It’s messy. It’s hard. But I know that this discomfort is part of the process, part of the refining fire that’s shaping me into who I’m meant to be.
The Bible reminds us in Romans 8:18, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
That verse gives me hope. It reminds me that what I’m going through now, the tears, the waiting, the uncertainty, is temporary. On the other side of this storm, there’s something beautiful that I can’t even begin to imagine. God doesn’t just want to change my circumstances, He wants to change me. And that kind of transformation takes time and trust.
So today, I’m choosing to hang on. Even when my grip feels weak, I know that God’s hand is steady. I don’t have to have it all figured out, and I don’t have to see the whole picture. My only job is to trust Him and keep walking forward one step at a time.
If you’re reading this and you’re in a similar season, know that you’re not alone. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need to keep your eyes on the One who does. This season may be uncomfortable, but it’s not without purpose. God is working something in your life, in you and through you, that will be worth every tear, every prayer, and every moment of waiting.
Hold on. Trust Him. Your breakthrough is coming.
Are you in a season like this too? If so, I’d love to hear about it. What are you holding on to right now? What are you trusting God for?
Holy mess
